Another vote for Jimmy Conway, but Ray Houghton was also pure class for us.

Best was obviously a great player, even for us, but I stand by the two aforementioned.

The question was which irish player? north or south doesnt enter into it.  footballs dont recognise borders. Damien Duff for me!

Turlough O’Connor. Played once for FFC and a full international.

There have been quite a few in my time. Conway was the first for me. So many have already been mentioned. I don't think I ever saw Duff have a bad game.
For me it's the man who went from Zero to Hero Bardinio. Not the most skillfully in this illustrious list but full of grit and he always had a sweet 30 yard pass in him.

Slightly different tact to the question being asked but as a regular attendee at Ireland international fixtures, one of my favourite moments was hearing a fan bestow the nickname 'Corpus' to our (at the time) very own Cyrus Christie.
